Ever need to record saxophones? Not the most obvious instruments.

[QUOTE="Paul Johnson, post: 216412, member: 2643"] I've been knocking on producing some help style videos for YouTube - mainly as a response to friends on forums, where being able to hear things makes more sense. One guy was asking about sax recording and it popped into my head that many people really don't get to record them that often, and when they do, get poor results because the damn things seem to defy common sense in some areas - as to where to put the mics, what mics might work best and the crazy issues you get with the instruments. I also discovered many people don't even know the differences between the types - so the video went from just some edited together samples into an explanation of how saxes work and what things frustrate you when you try to record them. The first section is mainly about the different types and how they function and then the sample section features each clip with an SM57 and an AKG 414. Some positions the Shure seems to win, and other times the AKG - so position and distance make big differences, then you have the tonal differences to consider too.
